Another clickbaity title from The Guardian (this makes n=2 such comments from me on this website over the past two days) but the eventual conclusion gets the point across. (No it's not the end of ambition, it's just a reframing of cultural values which discourage endless toiling for something you probably won't get.)
Ultimately (in my opinion) it all comes down to value systems. You have to figure out what you value / care about most and then try to pursue that. And then you try to resolve any dilemmas based on what upholds your value system best. (Obviously survival and subsistence come first, but people are realizing that putting in so much extra work isn't getting that much more results. So there is an understandable cultural shift.)
Someone on this site made a comment (which I did appreciate) that it's a bit egotistical to assume that everything you do will be consistent within one ethical framework. That's fair. But I think it's still valuable (haha) to think about values (and if that value is something humanistic, then that's pretty cool).
- ggm 4y agoI also dislike the increasing use of you won't believe... type hidden meaning teaser in the Graun, or the hyperbolic headline. All I can say is, it's worse in other media.
